How many charges can the Lithium-Ion battery endure?

You can expect around 500 recharges before the battery will need replacement by a dealer. The battery technology is similar to a cell phone and the same sort of life can be expected under normal operation.

How sensitive is the movement detection system on the SatSleuth system ?

The SatSleuth system is set to detect movement of 50mG without any appreciable degree of false triggering. This equates to a vehicle accelerating to about 1.7 Km/h (or around one mile per hour) over a one second period. As angle changes of less than five degrees will also be detected this makes it extremely hard for a vehicle to be moved without detection.

What accuracy can I expect from the SatSleuth system?

Globally you can expect around five meters accuracy but this can be down to two meters in areas with WAAS or SBAS coverage. As a general rule you will always be able to determine what road a car is on but you may not be able to work out which side of the road it is on.
